ecoSorb

EcoSorb QS-Advanta

A unique liquid precipitation agent, designed for simultaneous removal of both elemental and ionic mercury from flue gas streams by precipitation and oxidation. This product can be added into wet scrubbers to immobilize and prevent the reemission of mercury from the scrubber solution, or dosed directly into flue gas streams to capture mercury. The mercury species is converted to an insoluble salt that is thermally stable and safe for disposal within solid waste.
